Destiny 2 New Update 3.65 Fixes The Edge of Fate Softlock Issue and Other Bugs via Patch 9.0.0.2
With the major changes applied with Destiny 2’s patch earlier this week that was released alongside The Edge of Fate expansion, it’s no surprise that Bungie has a follow-up patch rolling out today, mere days after the last update.
Possibly the biggest fix from this update, which Bungie calls patch 9.0.0.2, is a softlock fix for the expansion.
Console gamers, you should see this download appear as Destiny 2 update version 3.65 on last-gen platforms, while those on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will see it as update 1.161 (complete 1.161.000).
